Livestock Genetic Traits & Conditions

Understand Your Herd’s Genetic Traits for Better Growth

Understanding your livestock’s genetic traits and conditions allows you to effectively leverage DNA testing to plan for your herd’s future. Our comprehensive and cost-effective genotyping tools support a wide range of applications for commercial and research applications across species, and our global network of animal genomics laboratories is ISO 17025 certified. Our expert solutions translate data into timely, accurate genetic trait and condition information to make strategic decisions about your herd at every step.

Our GGP fixed genotyping array solutions give you detailed genomic analysis using our advanced chip-based technologies and fast, efficient testing to develop targeted predictions and enhance breeding values. For unique situations such as research, custom arrays can be designed for your specific needs. We also offer Igenity® profiles for commercial beef and dairy producers and Igenity Swine for swine producers as analysis tools to give you comprehensive genomic support and services to guide management decisions.

Cattle

GGP Bovine offers impactful markers for performance and reproduction designed for registered cattle and research.

Swine

Igenity Swine is the premier tool for commercial producers to identify economically-relevant traits and defects and enhance selection decisions.

Sheep

GGP Ovine 50K can be used to help screen for undesirable mutations and make the right breeding decisions for the herd.

Igenity

Igenity profiles are an industry-leading analysis tool for commercial cattle to identify defects and valuable traits.

Developmental Duplication (DD)

Affected animals are born with all, or part of, an extra limb.

Tibial Hemimelia (TH)

Affected animals are born with severe deformities including twisted rear legs with fused joints, large abdominal hernias and/or skull deformities.

Neuropathic Hydrocephalus (NH)

More commonly known as "waterhead", affected animals are born dead with an extremely large head with little or no brain material or spinal cord.

Pulmonary Hypoplasia Anasarca (PHA)

Affected animals are stillborn due to underdeveloped lungs and swelling caused by excessive fluid retention.
